略论和解方式在刑事审判中的运用

在轻微刑事案件中合理运用和解方式结案能够达到法律效果和社会效果的双赢。在当前建设和谐社会的大背景下,宽严相济的刑事政策需要全面解读。在办案中真正运用这一方式,需要司法机关转变观念、重新设计考核激励机制,立法上也需要进一步明确范围和条件,防止滥用。     

索绪尔符号观再评价

语言符号的任意性是贯穿索绪尔语言符号学思想的一条重要原则.任意性理论的提出,并不纯粹是索绪尔本人对符号本质问题深刻反思的结果,而很大程度上得益于对其他许多非语言符号的比较.这是划分两类不同符号系统的一条重要标准.但是,索绪尔过分强调能指的形式侧面在符号结合体中的作用,相反对待号的能指侧面在物质质料构成上的特征,以及这些特征如何有助于区别开不同的符号体系这一问题,却注意不够.符号的解释主体对符号形态的认同,除了符号的所指功能外,实际上对符号的能指侧面的物质质料特征有着很大程度的偏重.这也是符号学的代码理论所要研究的重大问题.     

税务和解的正当性分析

税务和解现象之出现,缘于税务确认、税务处罚和税务诉讼过程中特定法律事实之缺失,其具有普遍性;税务事实之复杂性和税务实践之限制性的客观矛盾构成了税务和解的正当性基础;协商民主论、税收债法论以及既有执法领域的和解操作分别为税务和解提供了理论支撑和实践借鉴;税务和解的制度化可以消弭这一现象本身的异化倾向,从而实现税务和解在我国的正当化。     

《行政复议实施条例》的创新与不足——以行政复议和解与行政复议调解为视角

《行政复议实施条例》在许多方面体现了创新和实用的特点,对我国行政救济制度的发展起到了一定的推动作用。但由于层级所限制,该条例并未完全回应长期以来理论和实务界对我国行政复议制度改革的要求。在对和解及调解的规定上,有突破,亦有不足,具体表现在适用范围、效力、程序、救济等方面。     

From a ‘terrorist’ to global icon: a critical decolonial ethical tribute to Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela of South Africa

This article examines Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela’s political life and legacy from the perspective of critical decolonial liberation ethics, which privileges a paradigm of peace, humanism and racial harmony and opposes the imperial/colonial/apartheid paradigm of war, racial hatred and separation of races. This system emerged in the 15th century and was driven by the desire to conquer, dispossess, colonise, exploit and segregate people according to race and, alongside imperatives of primitive accumulation, it informed the colonisation of South Africa and the imposition of apartheid. Mandela was a liberation fighter who provided an antidote to the colonial ideology of racial profiling and hierarchisation. What distinguished him from other freedom fighters was his commitment to the cause of human rights as early as the 1960s, long before it attained its status as a constitutive part of global normative order. When Mandela became the first black president of a democratic South Africa, his practical and symbolic overtures to whites and his reconciliatory politics aimed to call them back to a new inclusive humanity. Critical decolonial ethics logically enables a tribute to Mandela that privileges his commitment to a post-racial society and new humanism.     

“To not hate”: reconciliation among victims of violence and participants of the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission (GTRC) was an intervention promoting reconciliation among the victims and community affected by the 1979 Greensboro Massacre in North Carolina. An exploratory qualitative research design was used, in which in‐depth, open‐ended interviews were conducted with victims of the Greensboro Massacre who subsequently participated in the GTRC (n = 17). Findings revealed a typology of reconciliation that includes cognitive–affective, behavioral and social reconciliation. Respondents displayed different orientations in how they prioritized reconciliation with the twin goals of seeking truth and justice. The GTRC did contribute to interpersonal reconciliation, and can be a useful model of communities working to recover from violence. The cognitive–affective, behavioral and social typology of reconciliation can be used to assess other interventions aimed at promoting reconciliation. Individuals’ personal orientations towards reconciliation can also be used to explain different reactions among people to restorative justice efforts.
